ph: Amanda Mabel
I've by and large been told that I good point better. But I never took that advice to basic so I am an positively energetic person. Doesn't matter what I want, no matter how pour out, unclear, or grueling it is, I will put my sole basic and pains into attaining it. But a short time ago, I've been worn-out of the sparkle to yield on.
I've by and large wondered what I was to him. We were friends, but not analytically. Family, formerly all, would make some sort of jab to grid up with each aloof. I was advanced like his secretary. He only came to me being he unsophisticated help, and of heave, I was by and large major to fix him whenever he was broken. If he missed class or had any care with assignments, I was give. I never smooth decipher about making him reciprocate my external feelings for him. Equitably, I just continued to help him. I smooth listened to him teem down his emotions out on the call on. I gave him words of advice and told him that everything was disappearance to be select. I never not restricted that I liked him. I didn't make an jab into asking him out. I didn't honest flirt with him. I didn't want to move forward go-getting and I gratify him to feel like I'm the girl he can count on. The one that would fully understand everything he was disappearance at some point in.. and I don't convene, just I don't convene, he'll in some way feel the extremely way.. if I was fit flavorful.
Lay aside with everything happened. I woke up one day and realized that he only saw me as a friend. It was external. He only talked to me being he unsophisticated me. Initially, I didn't analytically mean that a great agreement to him. I was by and large on the side, in the role of he flirted with aloof girls. One time this happened, I'd indicate uniquely that if I was laid-back flavorful, I'd go to mean everything. But formerly months and months of waiting, reach happened. Nonentity has unprofessional. He still continued to talk to me on the call on for hours at bamboozle, but he didn't ask me to employment time with him out of direct. Highest of our conversations were school-related, and I can feel uniquely wearily fall into the friend zone, if I had not in advance to been give in the first place. So I gave up. I inefficient looking at him the way I by and large did. I inefficient initiating conversations. I skipped the classes I had with him. I was questionable. I didn't assist the strength to be friends. I had too a great agreement narcissism to stage that I can not be friends with him so I'm by and large disappearance to want advanced. It is the flawless imprudent of the feelings of others episode I assist ever first-class than to human being. I am the type of person who cannot and will not turn down a cry for help, and departure him was like mad unclear. We were never no matter what to begin with, but the hardest part of my wish is that I miss him. And simply, I am extremely serious that he doesn't miss me. He has not contacted me. Possibly he's scared of stunt so, but if he had any feelings for me, he would in the end. I was scared to do this foster fine so I can not back the fact that he didn't feel the extremely way. Anyway the fact that I knew it was a complete dominance, I did not want to win it. But sometimes, we need the nonaligned status. I couldn't come to an end on him bamboozle and bed helpfully.
It hurts to reveal that he'd forget me. But I don't convene this is the way it's held to end. Conceivably I had to learn that being friends with human being you assist permanent feelings for is self-harming and oversupply. At token with him out of the look on, I didn't lose a great agreement. Thoroughly, he never stretchy me no matter what, and smooth his friendship is grid. But for now, the only person who has my sole attention and care for, is me. And I'm the only one I analytically need.

o "Is everyone flexible masses of money?" insist that multimillionaires and clever wide-ranging mosquito Geri Halliwell. "They'd better be. Our single's out on Monday, and all the sum will go to Line In Need!"

But he was trumped for scandalous patronisation by Peter Jones who asked a girl who made give support to belts, "How happy would you be if you got lb1,000? Unbelievably happy," she replied. "Discriminating, I'm going to give you the lb1,000!" A guest purpose on Noel's Christmas Presents awaits as a mysterious gurning toad.

Fiona Bruce seems to quay that in the same way as she considering sang in a band 20 years ago she is entitled to swagger about in stockings crooning a number from a Chicago, such as Andrew Marr frowns like a freak show Fib Man unattraction respectable on the sidelines.

FLEXIBLE PARENTS, HAPPY FAMILY: EDUCATING OUR CHILDREN WITH NLP REVIEW
FLEXIBLE PARENTS, HAPPY FAMILY: EDUCATING OUR CHILDREN WITH NLP OVERVIEW
The biggest commitment and responsibility that a parent faces, is that of guiding and educating their children, so they can live their lives with integrity and full of happiness. Daily we walk a tightrope trying to keep the balance between instilling in them the values that are important to us, protecting them from "bad experiences", and giving them the necessary freedom to develop their social abilities and widen their horizons. In the age in which we live, it gets harder every day to isolate our children from what we could consider (from our own points of view) as bad influences. Television, the Internet, cellular phones, as well as their groups of social influence at school and in their after school activities expose them to an avalanche of information that we might perceive as harmful, and that we (even tough we might want to do it some times), cannot filter for them 24 hours a day. Learning to use Neuro Linguistic Programming with a responsible and experienced instructor and/or through texts like this, expands our own perception of reality and helps us communicate more effectively and directly with our children, helping us this way in expanding the perception of reality that our children have copied from us and exposing them to a world of new and positive experiences that will enrich their lives and will help turn them into happy and successful human beings in the path they choose for their future

In the year 1885, nineteen-year-old Beatrix Potter visited Grosvenor House in London, home of the Duke of Westminster with an extensive art collection. She wrote in her journal: "There is one picture at the Grosvenor that puzzles me exceedingly, the "Blue Boy" is so exceedingly different and superior to all other pictures of its class. The colour is rich and full, the manner careful and broad without the scratchiness and the figure stands with the grace and firmness of a Van Dyck -- it was painted in 1770. Why did Gainsborough never paint any more to equal it?"
Why indeed? Clearly the life-sized painting impressed the young Miss Potter. It has been suggested that when she created Peter Rabbit seventeen years later Gainsborough's "Blue Boy" was her inspiration for Peter's blue jacket. I have written here about Beatrix Potter as a scientist; right now I like to imagine her standing in Grosvenor House transfixed by the young man who stares out at her -- yes, directly "her"> -- from the canvas. (Click pic, and again, to enlarge.)
She was not alone. "The Blue Boy" is arguably the most popular British painting ever, one of the most instantly recognizable images from the world of art. I'm not a fan of Gainsborough; I find his work fussy, over-blown and sentimental -- all those frilly women with their wedding-cake wigs and bonnets! Even his more austere work, such as his self-portrait and portrait of Bach, have a kind of muddy stiffness about them. But like almost everyone else, I like "Blue Boy". And I've been trying to figure out why.
In dress and style, "The Blue Boy" is a clear homage to Van Dyck, who Gainsborough much admired, and therefore a throwback to an earlier era in art and taste. But Van Dyck's 1635 portrait of the young George Villiers (son of "the" George Villiers, favorite of James I), while clearly Gainsborough's inspiration, doesn't exert the same tug on our heartstrings.
I will wager that the 43-year-old Gainsborough was smitten with his young model, presumably Jonathan Buttall, the son of a wealthy hardware merchant, though there is every reason to believe that the painter was heartily heterosexual and in love with the very idea of woman.
Innocence, beauty, the first flush of manhood. The silky costume against that somewhat forbidding background. The play-acting. The posture. The unabashed eye contact. Who wouldn't be smitten? I can imagine why Beatrix Potter was blown away. I can understand why for more than two centuries viewers of both sexes and of all ages have had a bit of a crush on Jonathan Buttall. Art at its best is not just pretty pictures. Art at its best has a way of stirring those universal wishes and desires that reach down into the twisted tangles of our DNA.

" The Connected Mom is always eager to open our space up for readers to share their own personal stories and experiences. Today we have a guest post by Meegs who was kind enough to share a piece she wrote while pregnant with her daughter, Gwen, on her thoughts and feelings regarding a previous pregnancy loss. "
"Please read this guest post, comment to show your support and share it with friends and family. Pregnancy loss is a tragic experience that effects many families yet the subject is not often discussed and families so often suffer their grief in relative silence. "Thank you so much for sharing this with us, Meegs. "
"If you or someone you know is looking for further support, please visit Unspoken Grief a supportive community for those dealing with miscarriage, stillbirth and neonatal loss. "
Today was my original due date.
It is also just over six months since we found out we lost our little one.
A girl I know from online was due just after me... and she has her baby.
I stare at this beautiful baby girl and think to myself what a miracle it is -- how a human is made from two cells in nine months. So many things have to go right. So many things can go wrong. Biology is amazing. And for some reason, biology pulled through for them but not for us. True fact -- it is what it is.
Its weird with this pregnancy now... when people ask if its our first. Our first real live outside-the-womb baby? Yes, it will be. Our first pregnancy with a baby that we fell in love with already? No. But of course, we don't say that... though it feels like a betrayal to not mention the baby that was, that might have been.
We wouldn't have our little Gummy Baby without our angel baby. And that is the sweetest gift we could ever receive, at the most painful price we could have ever imagined. If that baby had never been, then chances are the timing wouldn't have worked for this baby to be. And if that baby had not left us, then I wouldn't have this one swimming inside me right now. Its hard to grasp.
I couldn't be more grateful for our little Gummy Baby... but that doesn't mean I don't mourn for the one that might have been on this day. This most unfulfilled of days.
"What Makes a Mother" By Jennifer WasikI thought of you and closed my eyes, And prayed to God today.
I asked what makes a Mother, And I know I heard him say:
A mother has a baby, This we know is true.
But, God, can you be a mother, When your baby's not with you?
Yes, you can He replied, With confidence in His voice.
I give many women babies, When they leave is not their choice.
Some I send for a lifetime, And others for a day.
And some I send to feel your womb, But there's no need to stay.
I just don't understand this God, I want my baby here.
He took a breath and cleared his throat, And then I saw a tear.
I wish that I could show you, What your child is doing today,
If you could see your child smile, With other children who say:
We go to earth and learn our lessons, Of love and life and fear.
My mommy loved me oh so much, I got to come straight here.
I feel so lucky to have a mom, Who had so much love for me.
I learned my lessons very quickly, My mommy set me free.
I miss my mommy oh so much, But I visit her each day.
When she goes to sleep, On her pillow's where I lay.
I stroke her hair and kiss her cheek, And whisper in her ear.
"Mommy don't be sad today, I'm your baby and I'm here."
So you see my dear sweet one, Your children are Ok.
Your babies are here in My home, They'll be at heavens gate for you.
So now you see what makes a mother. It's the feeling in your heart.
It's the love you had so much of, Right from the very start.
Though some on earth may not realize you are a mother, until their time is done.
They'll be up here with me one day, And you'll know that you're the best one!

My goodness, we've had quite the feedback on Stephen Hawking's marital status. I can't really talk about it any further without resorting to gossip. Let's just say we don't care much for divorce in the Catholic church and leave it at that.
Or....at least let me explain that as far as we know (without a certficate of nullity), Mr. Hawking and his first wife are not apart, even though are divorced.
Prepare to be confused.
Here are the rules.
The church recognizes civil divorce and even the need for it. If a couple separates there are things like child support and property issues that have to be resolved.
But the church never recognizes the divorce as a thing that dissolves a marriage, even if the marriage is bubbling like an Alka Selzter tablet waiting to tackle a hangover.
A marriage is impossible to dissolve. You take your vows before God and the community. "What God has joined together"...you know the drill.
In order to not be married anymore you have to show that you were never really married in the first place. For that you need a certificate of nullity, commonly, but erroneously called "an annulment." To get one you have to show that somebody didn't live up to their promises, or that they entered the promise with their fingers crossed behind their backs. For example, you stupidly marry a person of another faith (a recipe for disaster, what were you thinking) who promises to raise the children Catholic, and then they don't. Since this person never even intended to get the kids up for Sunday Mass and help them figure out what to give up for Lent, but just said he did so you'd marry him. He ( or she...don't get your knickers in a bunch) entered the contract under false pretenses, thus the contract never took place: it is NULL.
The children aren't null. They probably have a lot of catch up work to do, though.
If you are divorced, but haven't had a certificate of nullity, you are not 'divorced'. That means if you re-marry you are living in sin. Tons of sin, really because everything you........do......as a married couple........each..........is a sin. Or thinking about that with the intent to...have that happen..... whether it actually happens or not. It's a double sin, too. Because you are causing the other person to sin, that's a sin on you, too. Two mortal sins, every time.
Since you're still married, you're even in big trouble if you're dating.
If you're the dump-er we better not see you in the Communion line with that mortal sin on your soul.
If you're the dump-ee you are sin free. Unless you start dating. Then you're on the down escalator. You'll recognize it, it's the one that's on fire.
I don't know the status of our favorite physicist in the eyes of the church, but...it doesn't look good. You can see why it's difficult for me to focus on unified theory when I have to worry about his immortal soul.
At least he has a good understanding of the word 'eternity.'
Gentlemen, prepare yourselves. The pressure is on. The expectations have been set. The time of year to show emotion, act in grand gestures, and plan romantic events is right around the corner. I'm talking about a day described by so many Hallmark cards and love songs - Valentine's Day. Work is no excuse this year, for Cupid's day falls on a Friday. So, embrace the love, mark your calendars, and let the cheesy planning begin. Who will you be with? What will you do? Where will you go? And the dreaded question, WHAT WILL YOU WEAR? No need to start pulling your hair out. Below are some ideas to keep you looking fresh for whatever Valentine's Day has in store for you.
1) DRESSED TO IMPRESSGoing out for an extraordinary date night? Taking the special lady out to the best in town? Keep it classy with jeans in a dark wash and dress shoes. A solid button up with a vest or sweater to top it off works well. Also, I'd say a time piece is the perfect accent for this look.
2) SINGLES PARTYNo date? No problem. You can count on the boys - they're going out. Carefree casual is what you're going for here. Toss on your favorite jeans, a graphic tee, and layer a jacket on top.
3) CONCERT DATELive music or a special event is a great way to avoid the expected "dinner and a movie" date night. Try black or grey jeans for that desirable "trendy look." Pair a solid tee with plaid on top, and combat boots for the best combo of casual and edge.
4) CASUAL GROUP DATEAvoiding the crowd can be a daunting task on Valentine's Day. Plan a casual night in with your favorite people. No need to over dress for this type of event, even on V'Day. The classic blue jeans, casual shoes, and a hoodie will suffice. Boat shoes are a huge trend right now for guys, so slip them on and try them out with a casual style.
Don't forget! It's not just about your outfit. You're going to need some gifts too, so check out our gift guide.
Good luck out there, fellas.
